Optimizing Ethylene Oxide Sterilization: Sustainable Solutions for Pharmaceutical Packaging and Drug Delivery Devices

Ethylene oxide (EO) remains the sterilization method of choice for approximately 50% of all single-use medical devices worldwide, thanks to its excellent material compatibility and scalability. As the industry advances toward more sustainable practices, innovative optimization strategies are helping reduce EO use while maintaining required sterility assurance levels (SAL) to help ensure patient safety.

This presentation, featuring a successful collaboration between an EO sterilization provider and a leading manufacturer of drug delivery devices, will share practical insights and a real-world case study on advanced cycle design. Attendees will learn actionable best practices for achieving sustainability goals without compromising product quality or patient safety.
